They handle brake fade quite well. Did a run down tail of the dragon and had no issues.
Paid £420 + £180 fitting for mine front and back on a 2019 Audi A4 by going via Euro Car Parts when the Audi garage quoted £1200!!
Got a 2014 DSG and find around town it’s 22-26 mpg but 35 on long motorway runs.
I've been researching brake pads recently since I was looking for something to replace my awful Akebono pads up front. What I've learned is that Textar and Pagid are OEM pads and will have the "BMW brake feel". Textars are usually on the rears and Pagid on the fronts. Bosch is supposedly not quite as good as the other two. I bought the Pagid pads and man, what an improvement from the Akebono. I can stop again without having to jam on the brakes.
I run pagid rsl29 (yellow) and i have been a big fan -- but it seems like you either love them or hate them, no in between.I still have over 75% brake pad left after 11 days on track-- with that said, factory brake cooling is pretty good on my car's front brakes (M2 Competition). I think most folks whom have issues have inadequate cooling which leads to very high temps, which the rsl29 do not like
Audi 4 piston front brakes - 26lbs lighter
Pagid have done me surprisingly well on track days.
You'll need decent pads, and ones that can handle a car with a bit of weight behind it, think Pagid RSL29, Winmax W5 or Mintex 1166 if you're not going mad. You'll want to flush out your brake fluid and replace it with something that will take the heat as the tiny brakes on a 325i WILL overheat, its not a matter of if, its a matter of when, good fluid will stop you from boiling it and crashing!
I got pagid and they are decent.
As someone who has a TTRS, the brakes blow. Heavy, overheat, poor feel, and expensive rotors/pads.
